Buy a City Wide Facility Solutions Franchise

City Wide Facility Solutions is a B2B facility management franchise that coordinates building maintenance for commercial properties. Rather than performing cleaning work directly, the brand operates as a management company: each franchise is the single point of contact for clients, overseeing more than 20 services such as janitorial, floor care, window cleaning, landscaping, handyman work and parking-lot repair, all delivered by a network of vetted independent contractors.

Clients span healthcare, education, retail, manufacturing and other commercial sectors that prefer one manager handling vendors and quality control over juggling multiple suppliers. The company has operated since 1961 and began franchising in 2001, building a network of roughly 115 territories across the United States and Canada.

Headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas and led by CEO and owner Jeff Oddo, City Wide positions itself as the largest management company in the building maintenance industry. Its model is built around recurring service revenue and large, protected territories, with franchisees concentrating on sales and client relationships while independent contractors supply the labor and equipment.

Why buy a City Wide Facility Solutions Franchise?

Buying a City Wide Facility Solutions franchise means stepping into an established B2B services business in a sector that has proved resilient across economic cycles. The management model generates recurring, compounding revenue: each client relationship can expand across more than 20 service lines, so a single account opens the door to layered, ongoing income rather than one-off jobs.

Because franchisees manage vendors rather than employ cleaning crews, the business is built around sales and account management instead of running service teams. Large, protected territories, typically covering one to two million in population, give owners room to grow, and the brand’s scale and national-account relationships provide lead-flow and credibility.

City Wide Facility Solutions – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    City Wide runs a 12-week onboarding process that includes two non-consecutive training weeks at its Support Center in Lenexa, Kansas, combining online, home-office and in-the-field instruction with 88 hours of classroom training. Every franchisee is assigned a performance coach, and ongoing support covers marketing, business development and proprietary technology platforms for scheduling, quality control and reporting. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer onboarding and Support Center training are provided to incoming owners when a territory changes hands.

  2. Ideal Owner

    City Wide is built for sales leaders rather than hands-on service operators. The strongest fit is someone with a background in B2B sales, sales management or people leadership who is comfortable winning and retaining commercial accounts, coordinating independent contractors and overseeing quality rather than performing the work. No cleaning or facility-maintenance experience is required, but owners must be actively involved in daily operations; this is not a passive or semi-absentee model. Relationship-building, organisation and a focus on recurring client satisfaction matter most.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    City Wide Facility Solutions ranked No. 126 in Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500, up from No. 143 in 2025, recognised for unit growth, financial strength and franchisee support. The brand reports double-digit system growth and describes itself as the largest management company in the building maintenance industry, with a network spanning the US and Canada. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, client reviews and referral relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    City Wide operates in the US commercial cleaning and building-maintenance sector, where janitorial services alone are valued at around $112 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld). Demand is driven by businesses outsourcing facility upkeep, heightened hygiene expectations and the appeal of consolidating multiple vendors under one manager. Because cleaning and maintenance are essential, recurring needs, the category tends to hold up across economic cycles. For resale buyers, that steady demand makes a territory's existing contract base and client retention central to its value.
